Ultimate Guide to the Best Rooms at Disney's BoardWalk Inn Resort

Staying at a Disney World deluxe resort usually comes with beautiful theming, nice rooms, and perks like Extended Evening Hours. One might argue, though, that one of the most beautiful deluxe resorts in Disney World is Disney’s BoardWalk Inn.

BoardWalk Inn

This deluxe resort is a popular choice for guests wanting easy access to EPCOT or Hollywood Studios, which are both just a walk or boat ride away, or because of the fun boardwalk shops, restaurants, and nightlife entertainment. It’s easy to see why guests decide to stay here, but, which rooms are the best?

The BoardWalk Inn is a six-story deluxe resort and is themed around the fun and whimsy of a Victorian boardwalk carnival. It boasts bright exterior colors of red and yellow, alternating with softer blue and green. And, in keeping with its carnival theme, the BoardWalk also has some fun neon signage that lights up Crescent Lake at night. The resort faces Crescent Lake and is just across the lake from Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. You’ve picked a beautiful resort to spend your Disney vacation, but let’s look at the best rooms!

Disney’s EPCOT Resorts are so fun at night!

As colorful as the BoardWalk is on the outside and throughout the common areas and the lobby, the rooms are quite understated. Crisp white linens, dark wood furniture, with a Victorian-styled striped wallpaper that adds vertical strips of sunshine throughout the room.
